Just a random question:
Why do Airliners.net have the words (Eagle Farm) next to Brisbane International and the words (Mascot) next to Sydney International...?

Mascot is Sydney ( Kingsford Smith INTL ) and eagle farm i have no idea about
Ahhh, Eagle Farm must be the old name for Brisbane Intl ( YBBN )

How does Mascot= Kingsford Smith? What connection is there their?
As for an airside tour, that sounds like a brilliant idea! I have never ever heard of any other airports doing that, but I wish NZAA would uptake on that same idea

Wikipedia to the rescue!
Sydney (Kingsford Smith) International Airport, or Sydney Airport (IATA: SYD, ICAO: YSSY), is located in the Sydney suburb of Mascot.
Brisbane Airport (IATA: BNE, ICAO: YBBN) is located in the Brisbane suburb of Eagle Farm, Queensland, Australia.
it would be like calling NZAA 'Mangere' i suppose.
